About Matt
I kept seeing that people had issues and no one wanted to find the answers to them. Since I had issues and everyone was wrong about them and I had to fix them I started looking at how to fix everyone else, like a puzzle. So I wake up at 4 every morning and I have for 10 years and I read research. So I have been able to figure out from the research how to fix a lot of things.

Rick Jordan
What’s shakin, hey, I’m Rick Jordan today. We’re going all in. Hey, Matt. Hey, good, good. Good. I have your bio here. Can I read it off to you real quick? Because it’s, yeah. All right. For the past decade, he’s woken up at 4 am to read research to find ways to solve the issues people have that nobody wants to fix. Within that research, many different ways to fix things. That’s literally all I have. All right. Yeah. Maybe author, is right and practicing doctrine. Speaker, I mean, this the bullet points, but that’s, that’s it. That’s the bio.
Matt Chalmers
So I’m a classically trained DC. Okay, gotcha. Yeah. Yeah, I spent lots of time doing research. And so I have found lots of ways of fixing different things. So cool.
Rick Jordan
I mean, I’m sure it’s very accurate. straightforward to
Matt Chalmers
make sure that these get written on.
Rick Jordan
My team pulls questions, you know, so I’m looking at like trying to, which is great, because I’ve got a team, the researchers and everything. And so the question is, you know, what’s so interesting about women’s health and culture, so I’m assuming you really kind of specialize in female health. And I actually
Matt Chalmers
downloads I just do a lot of things for women. And what happens Do you do anything for women because somebody will do nothing? You’re just like, oh, you’re a you’re a women’s specialist like I do for things you guys just do not?
Rick Jordan
Yeah. Are we recording guys? Okay, do we get that from the very beginning with the bio because that’s kind of funny. Okay, we got it. This is gonna be like, like Joe Rogan experience we’re seriously dude, we were just gonna go with this because it’s hilarious man. Dr. Bad Chalmers. What’s shakin, welcome.
Matt Chalmers
It’s actually it’s fun. It’s fantastic. I love it. Right. How are you guys doing up
Rick Jordan
there? Over good. You said something interesting, though, which was really curious to make because it’s like, but as I said, my team pulls questions, right? And I’m glad because this is all gonna make it into the show, which is pretty hilarious. Yeah, we’re just gonna leave it is. I love it. I’m glad my team was recording because I like to catch these things. But what’s so interesting, you know about women’s health, you said you just like, somehow treat a lot of women like disproportionately to men?
Matt Chalmers
Well, not really. But what ends up happening is that there’s things that women have to deal with that I can fix that nobody else seems to care about. So like, orgasm function women is really easy to increase. Endometriosis, PCOS is not super difficult to make substantially better when they blow their knees out 10 times more often than men because of their pelvis. And so if you learn that the pelvis back together and teach the women how to do it, then they’re good. Lots of women end up peeing on themselves when they like laugh after they have babies, because no one teaches them pelvic floor strengthening and Kegel function. And when you teach them that they’re like, oh, look, now everything’s fixed. And you do you know, 10 or 12 of those things. And now all of a sudden, it’s, you know, yeah, we do lots of women’s health, like, women don’t get a lot testosterone help. And it’s wildly critical. So like, a lot of women come in here, and they’re all destroyed, and given the testosterone, they feel a lot better.
Rick Jordan
I was reading about that, which is kind of counterintuitive, right? Because everybody feels that, at least knows in old school practices that testosterone is male and estrogen is female. But there’s a requirement for both in opposite ways for each gender as well. Correct? Not
Matt Chalmers
really, there isn’t a so just because so men have like the the trough levels we tried to get for men is about 1000. The trough levels we tried to get for women without swords when 80 and 150. So men have a lot more. But the idea that it’s just a male hormone is really, really bad from a health standpoint, because what you have to understand is that orgasm function, bone density, mental clarity, energy, the tissue that’s built around the heart, it’s all muscle tissue. All the ATP that’s creating the body is directly with all healing is directly related to testosterone. So the idea that only men should heal is ridiculous. That’s
Rick Jordan
insane. So you’re talking connective tissue, anything in the body comes from the function of testosterone, the healing of that, yeah,
Matt Chalmers
there’s, there’s no accurate fix ulcerative colitis or MS for that. Interesting.
Rick Jordan
That’s so crazy. I can see why you go. Or at least it just ends up happening, that you understand a lot more about women and things that you can fix, because this is not well known information. Dude, this is just something that I haven’t even I study up and I haven’t heard a lot of this stuff.
Matt Chalmers
Well, there’s a lot. That’s a lot. There’s a lot of information that’s out that is really easy to put together. The problem that a lot of people don’t get is because you have to look at who’s paying for what so for instance, you can fix diabetes in about two or three weeks, but it’s worth millions of dollars to treat over the course of the patient’s life. Yeah, so no one fixes it so they can charge for the treatment. So it’s little things like that, that changed the way that we get information. So like testosterone is probably the most important natural hormone to foot back in your body. Next to d3, which by the way, d3 is not a vitamin, it’s a hormone. So it’s super critical for both men and women, for all healing and all functionality. But the funniest thing to me, it’s hard to get men and women to come in, they’re both low, they’re married, we bring their testosterone back up, every single time I’ve done that they’ve come back, and they’re like, You saved my marriage. And it’s like, why it’s like, I can sleep better. I’m not as much of a jerk, I can, you know, the sex drive is through the roof, orgasm function comes back, and all of a sudden, they like each other as well. So it’s, it is super critical that we get those levels back up, you cannot heal at all without. So
Rick Jordan
we gotta get that in. Yeah, I already know somebody I need to connect you with to who runs a mastermind for DCS. You know, he does a whole bunch of stuff. But I mean, you should speak there. I’m seeing him in a couple of weeks here. Because I mean, even within that, it within the chiropractic community, because there’s a lot of chiropractors that I’ve seen that just kind of sit in that zone, you know, they don’t traverse into where you’ve gone into, which really is holistic medicine and just real world shit. And that’s what I love. I knew one one dc who was very similar to you, and I appreciate him too.
Matt Chalmers
Yeah, that’s, you know, it’s one of those things, how come everybody else has done it, they’re probably happy doing what they’re doing. Yeah, like, chiropractic is by far the most fun and awesome job you can have. Because, first of all to get in and she has like, kind of like the popping sounds. So you get the popping. Popping actually doesn’t do very much. It’s a neurologic function. But you get to watch people get better every single day. You might have someone who just started isn’t a lot of pain. But then five minutes later, if somebody comes and goes, Man, I was a little late now I’m a to thanks so much. Every single day, you get to see benefit. And so that’s why a lot of people are like, Why are you why they do this other 90 Because they could because it’s it’s not a job anymore. You get these fun, they go to work. So that’s so that’s why a lot of Cairo’s don’t go and do this stuff I’ve done they’re like, Hey, man, I’m fully fulfilled. And so that’s, that’s why it’s even rarer in our profession.
Rick Jordan
Yeah, I love the way you talk about this as well, because you’re putting it towards things that really are emotionally driven. You know, it’s like, Hey, you can have better sex, you can save your marriage, you can sleep better, all of these things. You know, if I started talking about my back, it’s not as not as sexy. You know what I mean? These others are like, Oh, my God, you know, but it’s also really cool to me, because I gotta throw this out. I had a, I had a disc that was bulged, right. And it was almost like segmented at one point. This was just maybe six months ago. And I had an orthopedic surgeon that was very kind, you know, somebody that I knew that that is a family of somebody that works for me, and did an MRI, and he saw and it was compressing my sciatic nerve, to the point, this was probably like one of the worst things I’ve ever felt in my life. To the point when it happened, my calf muscle completely seized in a permanent tense state. And I actually had to get that rubbed out massages, and acupuncture and everything after that, and then build the strength back up over the course of several months. But I mean, after that, because immediately, it was like, you know, surgeons want to cut, right? It’s just kind of what they do. He’s like, you gotta go under, this is bad. You know, this is it. I’m like, I’m gonna, I’m gonna just see what happens. You know. So there’s two chiropractors that I see. And it’s cool, because they both like to specialize, like you’re saying, in different areas. And they enjoy the different types of manipulations that they do. And it’s like, I learned them both well enough to be like, This is what’s going on. I took them the MRI image. It’s like, here’s your roadmap. You can actually see inside my body right here and dude, within four months, no joke, completely healed. Like No Other issues. I got full strength back in my leg, everything. I don’t have back pain, nothing.
Matt Chalmers
I do a lot of decompression. So I have a neuro start as well, which is where a lot of the nerve stuff comes from. But the compression is fantastic. It’s super fun. So what’s the funniest thing that goes it goes into full play because it’s a narrow thing as well. So plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel, frozen shoulder, and scoliosis are all brain issues, and they’re super easy to fix. So what ends up happening is you have something in the brain called neurologic tone, right? So your muscles have two things they’ve strengthened they have tone strength is how hard they can pull it anyone given time. Tone is how hard they’re pulling all the time. We call it posture. Well, it’s controlled differently in the brain so your flexors that curl you know ball are controlled by all your hindbrain and your extensors would smoke bring you out or control for your frontal lobe. Well at night when you fall asleep, your frontal lobe shuts down. And so the hindbrain stays active so you shut one down and one stays up. So it controls and contracts all those flexors. Same thing happens with the joints. So as you start typing and grabbing and turning and twisting, this muscle gets activated way too much. This one doesn’t get activated at all. So if you’ve got it it’ll start tightening up and pulling down on the carpal tunnel giving us carpal tunnel. So if you’ll go to Amazon and get finger rubberband So they’re called Secret fingers and open up a lot exhaustless muscle a couple times a day for a week or two, you know, radically decrease your plants or air your carpal tunnel. So same thing, scoliosis, the whole deal. One side of the spine gets the tone gets too high, curls it over. So if you’ll activate the other side, it’ll straighten it back out. Same thing that’s that’s
Rick Jordan
what I had to do with my calf to get it to release exhausted. I was on like two books and I just had to go up and down and do this Did they hurt like hell, man when I when I did when this was happening, but that’s what made it release. But I mean, I had acupuncture but just exhausting it is what released it.
Matt Chalmers
So the other side of that if you’ll if you’re so the way like you do plantar fasciitis is you point the toe as far as you can and pull it back as far as you can. While you’re doing that if you’ll compress the Achilles tendon, because in the Achilles tendon has all these little neuro Makenna receptors, Golgi tendon organs, muscle spindle fibers, if you compress the tenant, it sends this barrage of information the brain, it’s like Dude, we are super screwed up. And so when it happens, the brain immediately turns back down with the calf he goes, You need to relax your tone right now you’re gonna tear. And then as you’re activating the anterior tibialis, cycling the toes up, it activates that the anterior to the Elsens. Initially, the brain goes Dude, I don’t know what’s going on. But it’s super tight down here. And so the brain just recycles it and like I have people who walk coming on crutches. And I’ll do that and I’ll stand up and start walking around with plantar fasciitis. They’re just like, oh my god, it’s amazing. Like it’s gonna Timecop tonight, but you know, a couple times a week for about two three weeks you fix it.
Rick Jordan
That’s amazing, man. I love it. I can see why this is fun for you. Yeah, originally, when I started seeing the chiropractor like two decades ago, I of course understood the benefits, you know, but I mean, even down to the nerve side of it, but I can see it. You know, it lit me up. When I started getting into the mind of chiropractors and understanding. It’s the same as a dentist. I used to think why would anybody ever want to be a dentist? Until Until I saw the dentist that I see right now became friends with them. And he started like, you’re literally like building shit all day long. It seems like I know I love it. I love shape and stuff and the aesthetics of things. I’m like, All right, then. Well then now I understand it.
Matt Chalmers
Yeah, they’re like sculptures, like the guy that’s got to do that really good. Veneers like those guys are? That’s a cool thing. Man, I
Rick Jordan
went in because this teeth over here, right? I had like, it was like slightly setback. I’m talking like a half of a millimeter. But because I’m on camera, so so often, it’s like when I would turn I would see a slight shadow and it just annoyed the crap out of me. So I went into it but I like because you know I widen you know that just like a lot of people do. You know, I’ve got a one that’s my my tone or whatever it is my whatever they call it. That which is like one of the brightest it just happens to be. It’s like Ross from Friends. You know? It looks good. Like, dude, I’m like, I got the shadow. I’m seeing it show up in photos and it makes me look a little bit like a hillbilly. Can you please fix this? For me? He’s like, Oh, yeah, no problem coming in. We’ll set the appointment. 30 minutes. That’s all it was. And he looked at him like, Oh, my God, this looks so natural. And Perfect. Thank you.
Matt Chalmers
Yeah. Like, what’s really cool is they have like these little Chiraq machines. And if you’d like to put a tooth fold, they can literally like, create one right there in the office and like fit the crap back, the crown back on and that sort of thing. So it’s dentistry, pretty cool. We work with a lot of those guys, because, well, we’ll have zirconium implants. But then, because a lot of times, what we end up seeing is that if you do a root canal, you don’t want to really want to leave dead tissue in the body. And so it just works out better if you’ll pull those teeth and just do an implant. The problem is that not everybody can afford that. But that’s usually the best route. Yeah. So we use we work with these dentists guys all the time, especially where we got to pull the mercury out of people’s mouths, all the silver, nickel, mercury fillings are wildly toxic, and they actually gas, the mercury as they’re in your head. So we send people out to get those pulled out. So they can put deposit back in. So it’s safer.
Rick Jordan
That’s so cool. Because I mean, we’re talking years, I think we both have a bit of a bromance on dentists now. At the same time, do you clearly are not just manipulating joints or being a typical chiropractor? You know, this is your your breadth of what you’re interested in. And what you do is so expansive, how did you get from going to like, I don’t know if you went to Palmer or wherever you went to school to be a DC. But how did you get from that into doing what you’re doing now?
Matt Chalmers
So I went to Parker, and I’ve always kind of been a why this is so my whole family is engineers. And so I’m kind of an engineer. And when you look at the body, from the engineering standpoint, it makes a heck of a lot more sense. Because then you’re like, every time you throw like, you talked about the Biden, the people like well, it’s just hard to understand. It’s not hard to understand. Like, it’s just a machine. And once you figure out how it works, you understand how everything works. The problem is, is that a lot of the medical stuff, they’re like, Well, you just have to trust me on it, because it doesn’t make sense because it’s not how it really works like cholesterol, for example. Like they tell you Well, if your cholesterol is too high, it’s going to plaque. Why doesn’t Aflac at 150? The answer is it does. Like the last UCLA study that came out says 75% of people who had blacking were had good cholesterol levels. And so I’m like well why is to at least start looking at what reactive oxidative stress Well, what causes that. And so, like, it’s just one of those things. And then I got to the point where I started being able to fix things. And then people started getting sent here. So I started getting everybody who nobody else could fix that start getting scared, I was like, well, if I’m the last guy they can see, that means I gotta be able to fix these things is, if that’s, that’s why I do this, like I do. So I woke up at four every morning for a long time now about a decade, and I’ve read medical research for a couple hours. And it’s been really, really fun and really beneficial. So that’s just kind of where all came from. It’s just that, you know, I’m getting these people, nobody else can fix them, nobody else can fix them. That means I apparently the last stop, so that would freak me out and maybe maybe read.
Rick Jordan
So you have this natural thirst for knowledge, really is what it came down to.
Matt Chalmers
As you start to figure it out, see this The other thing that people ask me like, you work so much, I’m like, I don’t work at all. Like when I go on vacation, like the reading thing isn’t a work thing. Like when we go on vacation, and nobody else wants to go do anything till eight or nine in the morning. I read from four until nine. Yeah, like, this is what I do for my hobby. So it just happens to be what people pay me for. So that’s, that’s the biggest piece is that I really, like you said, I love this stuff.
Rick Jordan
There’s a I’ve seen this as a trait. And I mean, of course you see articles and studies about this, too, is that the wildly successful people are those who are constantly in search for knowledge. And I’ve always seen this because I used to feel like I never wanted to read anything, you know, but I was naturally curious. So I think that everybody I mean, I hope so anyways, that most of the people on this earth dude are actually naturally curious. It’s just the knowledge and the consumption part to me is almost like a muscle that you build. Once you get into it becomes insatiable. I think
Matt Chalmers
I think the other problem is that we’re told a lot not not to walk down those roads, we’re told you have to know things about everything. And I’m just like, why? Like, my big thing about like I, I argue at this with schooling, is why do we teach people the way we do nowadays? Like why do we make people memorize anything? Like you can look it up? Use the technology? We should be using last two years of school for personal development? EQ, how do you cook? How do you sew a button? Like how do you live a life? Like we don’t need geometry or trig? We don’t need that. If you want to be an engineer, great go to go to college and become an engineer. We don’t need that in high school. We need to teach people how to communicate. There’s a
Rick Jordan
real physics is not PE whatever they call it. Yes. Yeah. Yeah,
Matt Chalmers
it’s always, it’s always so rough for me. Because like, all the moms in the school were like, we could go to school and talk to the coach. And I was like, All right, I don’t know how it’s not gonna do any good, but I will. And so I go, and it took me a solid five minutes to 100% decide that this guy is never gonna teach my kids how to work out. So it’s, you know, a lot of this stuff is not necessarily their fault. They were all taught wrong. So what happened was that everybody else had wanted to get strong, and they’re like, well, who’s strong? The Olympic lifters? Well, let’s make everybody lifts like Olympic lifters. Because that’s what we want. And the problem is, is that that is not what your sport needs. It’s not what you need for a daily basis. No one who’s not an Olympic lifter should be using a bar, you’re gonna destroy your shoulders, you’re gonna destroy your spine. Like you’re, you’re, you’re gonna hide weaknesses and your hips and knees. So like, whenever we train it, we get rid of all the bars and like, no, no bars, you can do everything, single leg and everything single bar. Nice. And it’s amazing how much dexterity you can build into somebody, even a pro athlete who’s never done single leg work.
Rick Jordan
Wow, I like this, because I don’t use bars, either. I mean, I’m not. I mean, I’m looking at you, dude. And you’re freaking jacked. You know, I’m loving it. That’s another thing to me. Because there’s some chiropractors that I’ve seen that are, that kind of will be nice and say let themselves go. I’ve seen this. It’s like, but then that’s the only thing it’s like, they have fun. They manipulate joints and everything, but they don’t get into like, really the things that help you live life.
Matt Chalmers
Well, it’s for me because I, I speak about how they talk about how the body works and things like that. And I’ve always been like, of the mind. One of the reasons I chose to look like this is because if you’re going to tell people that you understand how the body really works, that means you get to choose how you look. And so I wanted to choose something like you can tell I chose this, like, you wake up this morning, go, whoo, this is weird. So like, it’s one of those things, if I know how the body works, I can make my body anywhere I want. And so that’s why you show so if you’re a doctor, and you’re unhealthy, I don’t trust you that you know what you’re doing. Because why would you choose to be unhealthy? Yep. Unless you don’t know what you’re doing.
Rick Jordan
So I need like an amen button, dude, for real. That’s like the whole point. You know, as I was listening to you, I’m like, you know, you are so like Polish, which is awesome. I can tell you, you speak a lot. Clearly you are a speaker. You know, it’s because you’re not tearing down other chiropractors, which is awesome. You know, and that’s it. So I’m thinking in my head, like, no problem. I’ll do that for you. You’d be the nice guy today but then you went I mean, we’re talking doctors, but that’s the thing is like, I can see that across the board and observationally you know, with just empirical evidence I’ve seen, it’s like, why is one doctor this way? And the other is this way, why is there an MD? You know, because I think back to days when I was I was overweight. You know, why is there an MD? That’s telling me that I need to drop 40 pounds when he’s sitting here with a potbelly. It’s an exam. And he sounds like we can do it the natural way or the pharmaceutical way, I remember this conversation with my MD. And I’m thinking in my head, I’m like, Well, you might know and have the knowledge of the pharmaceutical way. That’s cool. But do you even know what the natural way is? Because I’m not seeing it. It was this thing. And I wasn’t healthy at the time, dude. I was unhealthy. And here’s somebody telling me that is also unhealthy, bro, you’re unhealthy. Like here, we can do a pillar, the natural. I’m like, What’s the natural? He’s like, Well, I think figure it out. He’s like, Eat less exercise like, thanks. That helps.
Matt Chalmers
Well, it’s you know, it’s funny, because we talked about this type of stuff all the time, it’s, you know, a lot of the medical guys were taught a very specific way. And the problem is what they were taught was wrong. And that’s just, I don’t know how else to say I’m trying to I’m not trying to be mean or anything, but there’s just a lot of things that were taught were wrong. Now, I will tell you that the last person you want to see if you are bleeding is me. If you’ve had an accident, you’re bleeding, but don’t like dude, I will, I’ll call 911. For you,
Rick Jordan
someone told me the only two things you really need to live for a good chiropractor and a good surgeon?
Matt Chalmers
Well, I will, I will tell you knowing a lot of surgeons, but my son broke his arm. And I was like, Okay, I know, the best orthopedic, pediatric orthopedic surgeon in Texas. And so I got him all set up and get in that it is very, very comforting knowing that I have all of the surgeons that we need that Yeah, yeah, it’s just getting the information in is super important. But being able to translate it out in a function where you can actually help people is a little bit different. So when we take a medication, it’s specifically to try to take over the body and force us to do something else. And so those guys need to know, that function. And the problem is, is that I think we’re all kind of getting out of our scope a little bit. Because like, like I said, if you’re bleeding, please don’t call me like, that’s not my scope. That’s not what I do. But once you’re done bleeding, you need to go ahead and come over here because I can fix I can help you regenerate and repair and heel, right, because we’re gonna do, we’re gonna do the wellness stuff. So that’s kind of where these two things come in. But the other thing is that you have to understand patients have choice. Like I said, about diabetes, diabetes is really easy to fix takes a couple of weeks, and you’re done. But you actually put work in it’s more than swallowing a pill. So if you’re like, No, thanks, I’ll just swallow a pill, or I’ll do the injection. Cool. That’s your decision. go this route. And so we can’t I don’t feel like we can sit on this side and be like, we should have the choice of how we treat COVID. Or we should have the choice how we treat this and we’re not gonna let other people make the same choice. Like it’s, I think it’s crazy, crazy choice. Some IMEC. Yeah, so like, that’s where that’s where a lot of this, like animosity between the two groups happens is because people still have choice.
Rick Jordan
Yeah, for sure. But no, tell me about your show wellness insights.
Matt Chalmers
Yeah, so I got a bunch of buddies who are pro athletes and CEOs and stuff like that. And so we’re bringing them on and we’re talking to them. One of the things we’re kind of take, it’s going to take slightly a detour. So figuring out how to use cannabis in a sublingual form to completely knock out pay. So it’s totally those little smites my 10 year old when he broke his arm, get up surgery, plates, everything. But then, when he had those taken out, he had a plate and six pins removed six screws removed. When he came home. All I did was give him cannabis from the strips. It was enough to block the pain, but we could dose it. So he never gotten psychological function never got hot. About him, I just tore his bicep off. He had, he had that surgically repaired. That’s all he’s using. So we started kind of figuring out how to how to knock all these things out with with cannabis. And then I did a TED talk on how to end the opioid epidemic using cannabis. And the only problem was time I didn’t know how to fix addiction. So we started working on it, and you can fix addiction with ketamine and with psilocybin. According to the research, we have 85% of the time, and it’s not it’s not both, so you can use ketamine and 85% is not going to work and the people who fail that we can move into psilocybin and then we can knock it out probably another 20% of the time there. So we’re getting a tremendous amount of benefit from these type of things. Now we can put the ketamine on the same sublingual strips. We cannot do psilocybin in Texas, we’re gonna have to fly people to Colorado, but so what we’re going to start doing is I’m going to start the charity I have is going to start paying for veterans to have PTSD to go through that one one week process and knock out their PTSD. And it’s a week it’s like five days come in. We’ll knock it out. And then we’ll monitor you as you go through. But the, what I’ve been told by some of these guys is unbelievable stuff. Like one of the guys was talking to him. And I was like, Well, how bad was your PTSD? Because I know what all of my guns tastes like, because they’ve all been in my maps. Oh, God. And I was like, that’s okay. He was like, I had to wake up every single day and try to figure out a way a reason not to kill myself. And I was like, okay, and I was like, what was it like when he got done? He was like, someone flipped the switch. It was gone. Now, I was like, it wasn’t better he was he was gone. And I talked to four or five different veterans who told him the exact same thing. And so I was like, alright, well, that’s what we’re gonna do. And so we’re gonna start bringing them in and doing ketamine therapy with them to break out the PTSD. But you can also use it for addiction. One of the guys I was talking to who had a massive cocaine addiction, he told me that he has, because he said he was so addicted to cocaine that he was crying about his cocaine addiction while doing cocaine, when he says that was a year ago, he’s like, after my ketamine treatment, one year, because I haven’t even wanted to because I have more willpower, because he had zero desire to touch it. It’s it’s complete rewiring, yeah, it’s the neuro on this is super cool. But yeah, it just, it just flips a switch. And so for a lot of people, not for everybody, but for a lot of people. It’s what the research is showing. So I was like, why are we not doing this? This is we all bitch about mental health? Yeah, let’s just go fix it. And so that’s what we decided to do, we’re gonna start going out and that’s gonna be, you know, probably in a month or two. And so we’re gonna start putting all those videos on the podcast and out for that way. And so we’re gonna try to the problem is, is that when I put my treatment for COVID out, I fried all my social media. So I’m still on Twitter
Rick Jordan
a few years ago about government overreach, got the attention of the Trump family and got invited on Laura Trump’s show, but dude, I was shadow banned for a good eight months or so.
Matt Chalmers
I’m still I’m still like, I still like when I talk on Twitter, like, nobody seems like I don’t think anybody sees it. And like, I’ll reply to people’s stuff. Like somebody asks a question. I’ll throw research like, here. Here’s the research you want it. No one says anything. And like 12 comments like, I’m obviously bad. Have
Rick Jordan
you ever tagged on maybe he can help?
Matt Chalmers
If I find to me who knows? I’ll talk I talked to broke and I’ll be like, I need one favor. Yeah, no. Yeah, it was that was that was fun because like we were pulling people out of hospitals to save them. COVID everything once you figure out how to do it, it’s not it’s not that hard. But yeah, so COVID is actually I repast this to actually talk about, though. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So COVID is on a respiratory issues basket. So what happens is that the spike proteins activate the AC receptor sites, which is your entire RAS system. So that’s renin, angiotensin aldosterone. And so that’s kidneys, heart, lung and brain makes the blood vessels squeezed out when they squeeze down, decreases oxygen to the whole body. So what ends up happening is that you can breathe just fine. Your fuel tank gets full of gas, but it doesn’t make it to the engine. And so when I started seeing this, and I luckily, I had it so I could feel it as well, if I got gas in the tank, but none of the in the engine. The fuel lines were I gotta look. So I started looking at the blood vessels. We started using quinine, not hydroxychloroquine, straight quinine. Because issue was hypovolemia. And that’s it was just been treated for it’s been used to treat vascular muscle spasms for a long time. So it’s given everybody quinine. And then I was putting him in a hyperbaric chamber because hyperbaric chambers, just simple boils boil for physics, increases oxygenation of the tissue by 1,000%. And so I get guys and I carry people in who were like, foxes in the high
Rick Jordan
70s in the fuel line with that. Yeah,
Matt Chalmers
and so we put oxygen on we give him a shot of quinine, they get down oxygen. 10 minutes later post like, so we got from a high 70s to low 90s. Wow. And like people just started kind of waking up. And it was it was crazy. So it was never a, you use an event to fill the lungs when they can’t breathe on their own. But that wasn’t the issue with COVID. Now some of these guys have actual pneumonia as well. But that’s not the issue with COVID. It’s a blood vessel. Thanks. If you put them ahead right chamber, you would have basically saved them all.
Rick Jordan
That’s incredible. Well, well, you got my attention, for sure. All right. I’m gonna do some rapid fire with you. That’s cool. All right. Okay, good. You’re outside of d3. Because I’m a full believer in d3 as well. I mean, changed my life. When I started I do 10,000 I use a day, you know, I should probably do 20 But my levels hover around 70 So
Matt Chalmers
outside of deep so you want those between 80 and 120. So I
Rick Jordan
should probably like 20,000 a day shouldn’t I? I would I would take five
Matt Chalmers
to 7000 in the morning and five to 7000 at night. Okay.
Rick Jordan
So somewhere between 10 and 15 a day is what you’re saying? Just keep in mind somewhere in there. Yeah. I dig that. But outside of d3, your top three supplements that everybody should take
Matt Chalmers
Okay, so I consider Okay, let me let me break this real quick. So I break things down into receptors like function. So you have natural natural which is I squeezed the plant got the All right, dried it, put it in the capsule that’s natural, natural. Everything else is pharmaceutical natural. So the methylated B vitamins I talked about the, the chewable, vitamin C, testosterone, those were all natural, synthetic, natural, pharmaceutical natural. The reason I consider testosterone in here, this gives us a naturally produced hormone, just like d3 Is that is required for natural functional growth. And so it needs to be in this in the side. Now, the difference is that you inject it, not swallow it, because steroids do terrible things to the liver as I go through, it’s a safer method to inject than it is to take it any other way. So that’s in there. So testosterones would be my number one methylated a full spectrum methylated B vitamins going to be number two. And then depending on the person, it’s either gonna be a digestive enzyme that’s a probiotic base, or, or some hydrochloric acid, hydrochloric,
Rick Jordan
really, just to increase the amount of acid in your stomach
Matt Chalmers
to know how to change it and replace it. So really happens. So neurologically you have two systems, right? You have parasympathetic, which is resting, digesting, and you have fight flight freeze, which is sympathetic. When you’re about 95% of us live in sympathetic, we should be living in parasympathetic what happens is that when you change, neurologically, everything shuts off. And so you’ve quit producing hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid is not there to clean, it’s not there to digest your food, it’s there to clean it, kill the parasites, kill the yeast, kill the bacteria, kill everything on it, so that it doesn’t infect you. Well, the problem is, is that when you’re when you’re in a something like steak, you quit producing that you start producing lactic acid, so that GERD, that heartburn is not because you have too much acid because you have the wrong kind of acids, you’ll start taking hydrochloric acid, the guard will go away. But h pylori can live in the lactic acid state, they cannot live in a pH of two which is hydrochloric acid. So if you do have any ulcers, it’s going to burn. Now you have two choices, you can either let it burn and kill these pylori and you have semicolon kill itself. Or you can go back through things like Bear garlic and things like that. Kill the H Pylori. Let the stomach heal, then start adding HCL back end. But the HCl will kill all sorts of parasites. It breaks up biofilms. It does great things for the sinuses. It’s a really, really important tool.
Rick Jordan
That’s amazing. Dude, you’ve blown my mind today. I want to come down and take you to dinner. Is that cool? Sweet. I appreciate you, man for coming on your book is practice to the author of pillars of wellness pillars of wellness as your book, right? Yeah. And your show is wellness insights. You said that show shifting? It’s still publishing though, right? Because I want to send people that. Yeah, we
Matt Chalmers
switched. We’re still we’re still obviously publishing stuff. So I have guys demand like I just had to clip and I thought it really well, he’s not too long ago. And so you’re we’re still polishing it. We’re still going out. And then I’ll do like people will send me questions. If they’re good questions, I’ll make a video about it. And I’ll go through it like the earth for tall when I did because people were all scared about Earth or tall, which is one of the best things you can put in your body. And yes, it is 100% Natural. Because the food they came out and just a story at that. And that’s basically because your parent, I don’t know, I’m trying to be mean. But if you read the article she linked to it tells you it’s phenomenal for blood vessels. Like I use it for red knots, like it dilates small blood vessels in the hands of people who have really cold hard hands like Bernards. It helps that up quite a bit. So yeah. But yeah, so there’s also answering questions like that on the podcast. So if you guys have questions into questions at Chalmers wellness.com. And I’ll, I’ll probably make a video on that.
Rick Jordan
Sweet. Awesome. And everybody can find you at Dr. Chalmers one on Oprah. Yes. That’s very cool, dude. Thanks for coming on.
Matt Chalmers
Absolutely, man.
Rick Jordan
This is a blast. Thanks.
